Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to UCC, an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose arises only if the seller is a merchant who deals in goods of the kind sold, and the seller has reason to know the particular purpose for which the buyer requires the goods and that the buyer is relying on the seller's skill or judgment to select suitable goods. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the required conditions for the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
